The Screaming Cowboy

[Per Starback]

David on the song Donald wrote in WDC 137:

Gosh!  How do those complete lyrics go?  Do you know who wrote them?

I think they didn't add any lyrics, but only sing the extract shown in
the story:

Die Hymne der D.O.N.A.L.D.

Und lieg ich der-einst auf der Bah-re,
so denkt auch an mei-ne Gui-tah-re
und legt sie mir mit in mein Gra-hab.
